Lightbulb exhaust tip

Bill,
I haven't had an exhaust bolt back out for along time since I've done this;
I do not use an exhaust gasket as they compress and that causes the bolts to loosen up.
I put a small amount of copper silicone sealer around header ports after I run a file across them to make sure they are flat and have no burrs.
Tighten all the bolts evenly to about 30 ft/lbs, you can feel them tighten up as metal to metal there is no slack.
Good luck,
Perry.
